my boyfriend and my step-mother are TERRIFIED of snakes.

my step mother claimed she was "chased" by a neonate boa. and my boyfriend had some bad experience when he was younger or so he sais. My mother refuses to come anywhere near my appartment if she knew i had a snake, which is why i just dont tell her (she dosent come to visit anyway). my boyfriend who was initially terrified at the THOUGHT of me getting a snake, can now be in the same room as her, as long as he cant see her. he cant even see snakes on TV like in movies or if we're watching animal planet. he freaks out. and i feel bad because hes a big tough guy who would do anything to protect me.

unless its from a snake. lol
